Hey,what is ya'lls favorite broadhead for deer hunting?I was thinkin about doin some bowhunting this fall just to try something new.This will be my 2nd year hunting anything. I killed two deer with a .243 last fall.

sharp ones, I like cut on contact heads.

Muzzy's, slick tricks, magnus stingers/buzzcuts!!!

As stated above "A really sharp one"!

Cabelas has out these new copperheads, they are SHARP!!!

Rocky Mountain Blitzor Slick Trick Magnums.

Joe,
What kind of bow do you have, what is you're draw-length, and what is the weight you'll be pulling. I can recommend a WHOLE set-up for you, but I'll only do that based on what you're going to be shooting, because it will change if you're gonna be shooting a 50# bow vs. a 70# bow. The only couple BH I think across the board are just absolutely fantastic for whatever you're shooting be it 50# or 70# are Magnus Stingers and Slick Tricks. There are many more that are also really good, but I've seen both of those work well with whatever set-up they were used in with well placed shots. If you're new to bowhunting and archery, you've got some work ahead of you, but it will be FUN work as well. 2 yrs after my first archery kill, I quit gunhunting for deer because I lost the excitement with a gun, but the bowkill still is the ultimate thrill.

Post up a little more info, and we'll get you more answers. If you're shooting anything under 60# RAGES would be an ABSOLUTE NO in my opinion, too many LOST deer because guys didn't have the ENERGY to push that BH into where it needed to go.

Personally, Until you have a little more experience with a bow and learn all the set up and tuning tricks I would stay away from a mechanical broad head as if you do not keep up on them they can fail to open or at least not fully open and then you have a wounded animal out there, bow hunting takes and requires more from a hunter than what it does to go out and shoot a rifle. Practice, practice, practice!!! As OHbohunter said it can depend on what bow you are shooting, arrow weight and so on!

I like Slick Tricks and Phat heads.
